Conference DetailsHeart failure and cardiomyopathy are direct results of valvular heart disease. Heart failure management is challenging in patients with structural heart disease. As more patients develop degenerative structural heart disease, it is important for local cardiologists and heart failure specialists to understand when patients are appropriate for referral or intervention. The development of a collaborative team effort amongst all clinical areas is essential. Individuals with congenital heart disease are surviving longer than before. Accordingly, many adult cardiologists are faced with the management of congenital heart conditions. One endeavor of this CME activity is to improve the overall knowledge concerning device based therapies for adult congenital heart disease - from indications to timing to device selection.
